    Couldn't you ask them to bring their dressing gowns with them or were you thinking of getting some white toweling ones like you get at salons?

    There are places like Matalan, Primark etc that do really cheap clothes. Is it for really small children or teenagers, if teens then Asda do cheapish kimono style dressing gowns.
    Just run, run and keep on running!

    Primark had little girls dressing gowns reduced to I think £6 the other day (they even had a matching pair of slippers included).

    Or (following on from Jay-Jay) can you use towels to wrap around their shoulders?
    Or, ask a local salon if they would consider loaning/hiring you the gowns they use to protect clothes overnight?
    Or, use black bin bags (hole in the seam at the 'botton' to go over the head and a couple down the sides for arms) ... to make it more fun, let them decorate their own bin liners before wearing them ready for their make-over? Even teens would have a good giggle over doing that if they were ALL doing it (teens only object if they are single out ;) )
    Or, does dh have some old shirts that they can wear instead?

    Whichever choice you make, have a wicked time .. it sounds like great fun!!!

    Matalan had some kids ones reduced to £4 each last week, deep pink with a heart pattern. I'm not sure what age they went up to though:confused: I was trying to concentrate on what I'd gone in- it takes a lot of concentration!
